He also crushed to pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the sons of Israel had been burning incense to it; and it was called Nehushtan. 2 Kings 18:1-6 5 He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel; and after him there was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among those who came before him. 6 For he clung to the LORD; he did not desist from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the LORD had commanded Moses. Chapters 36-37 • Image from: www.lightstock.com from: Image Chapter 36 – Assyria’s Threats • Image from: www.lightstock.com from: Image Isaiah 36:1-5 1 Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria marched against all the fortified cities of Judah and seized them. Isaiah 36:1-5 2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to King Hezekiah with a large army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool on the road to the fuller’s field. Isaiah 36:1-5 3 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the secretary, went out to him. Isaiah 36:1-5 4 And Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘This is what the great king, the king of Assyria says: “What is this confidence that you have? 5 I say, ‘Your plan and strength for the war are only empty words.’ Now on whom have you relied, that you have revolted against me? Isaiah 36:11 11 Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it; and do not speak to us in Judean so that the people who are on the wall hear you.” Isaiah 36:13-15 13 Then Rabshakeh stood and called out with a loud voice in Judean and said, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria! 14 This is what the king says: ‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to save you; Isaiah 36:13-15 15 and do not let Hezekiah lead you to rely on the LORD, saying, “The LORD will certainly save us. This city will not be handed over to the king of Assyria!” Isaiah 36:18-20 18 Beware that Hezekiah does not mislead you, saying, “The LORD will save us.” Has any one of the gods of the nations saved his land from the hand of the king of Assyria? Isaiah 36:18-20 19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? And when have they saved Samaria from my hand? Isaiah 36:18-20 20 Who among all the gods of these lands have saved their land from my hand, that the LORD would save Jerusalem from my hand?’” Isaiah 36:21 21 But they were silent and did not answer him so much as a word; for the king’s command was, “Do not answer him.” Chapter 36 – Assyria’s Threats • Image from: www.lightstock.com from: Image This was too big for Judah to handle. Chapter 37 – Hezekiah’s Faith • Image from: www.lightstock.com from: Image Isaiah 37:1 1 Now when King Hezekiah heard the report, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and entered the house of the LORD. Chapter 37 – Hezekiah’s Faith • Image from: www.lightstock.com from: Image -Hezekiah goes before God in humility. Isaiah 37:2,4 2 Then he sent Eliakim, who was in charge of the household, with Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. Isaiah 37:2,4 4 Perhaps the LORD your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to taunt the living God, and will avenge the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore, offer a prayer for the remnant that is left.’” Chapter 37 – Hezekiah’s Faith • Image from: www.lightstock.com from: Image -He sends to Isaiah for God’s word. Isaiah 37:5-7 5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 6 And Isaiah said to them, “This is what you shall say to your master: ‘This is what the LORD says: “Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me. Isaiah 37:5-7 7 Behold, I am going to put a spirit in him so that he will hear news and return to his own land. And I will make him fall by the sword in his own land.”’ Isaiah 37:10-11 10 “This is what you shall say to Hezekiah king of Judah: ‘Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you by saying, “Jerusalem will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.” 11 Behold, you yourself have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, destroying them completely. So will you be saved? Isaiah 37:14 14 Then Hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went up to the house of the LORD and spread it out before the LORD. Chapter 37 – Hezekiah’s Faith • Image from: www.lightstock.com from: Image -He takes his problem before the Lord and prays over it. Isaiah 37:15-20 15 Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying, 16 “LORD of armies, God of Israel, who is enthroned above the cherubim, You are the God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You made heaven and earth. Isaiah 37:15-20 17 Incline Your ear, LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, LORD, and see; and listen to all the words of Sennacherib, who sent them to taunt the living God. 18 Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the countries and their lands, Isaiah 37:15-20 19 and have thrown their gods into the fire, for they were not gods but only the work of human hands, wood and stone. So they have destroyed them. 20 But now LORD, our God, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, LORD, are God.” Isaiah 37:21-22 21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent word to Hezekiah, saying, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘Because you have prayed to Me about Sennacherib king of Assyria, 22 this is the word that the LORD has spoken against him: Isaiah 37:33-35 33 “Therefore, this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria: ‘He will not come to this city nor shoot an arrow there; and he will not come before it with a shield, nor heap up an assault ramp against it. Isaiah 37:33-35 34 By the way that he came, by the same he will return, and he will not come to this city,’ declares the LORD. 35 ‘For I will protect this city to save it for My own sake, and for My servant David’s sake.’” Chapter 37 – Hezekiah’s Faith • Image from: www.lightstock.com from: Image -God answers in a powerful way. Isaiah 37:36-38 36 Then the angel of the LORD went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when the rest got up early in the morning, behold, all of the 185,000 were dead. Isaiah 37:36-38 37 So Sennacherib the king of Assyria departed and returned home and lived in Nineveh. Isaiah 37:36-38 38 Then it came about, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with the sword; and they escaped to the land of Ararat.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Chelsea Woodward, Publicist [email protected] (719) 268-1915 Christy Award-Winning Author Mesu Andrews Reimagines “Greatest Prodigal Journey in Scripture” in New Novel “… Andrews takes on the story of Judah’s King Manasseh in the enthralling second entry in her Novel of Prophets and Kings series… Christian readers interested in the stories of the Old Testament will want to check out this exciting tale.” —Publishers Weekly Award-winning author and master storyteller Mesu Andrews once again brings to life the drama of the Old Testament in her gripping new novel, ISAIAH’S LEGACY (2/18/20, WaterBrook). A follow-up to her Christy Award-winning novel, Isaiah’s Daughter, this new story sees the return of key characters while also introducing new ones, including Judah’s most notorious king, Manasseh. Eight-year-old Shulle has only known life in a small village with her loving but peculiar father. Her life is forever changed when her Uncle Shebna brings her to Jerusalem to tutor the young and brilliant Prince Manasseh—grandson of the prophet Isaiah and son of King Hezekiah, Judah’s most righteous king. Nasseh’s moods, need of routine and singular focus remind Shulle of Abba and make her a perfect match for the boy no one else understands. When Uncle Shebna threatens her father’s safety and forces her into the dark arts, Shulle’s faith in Yahweh is shaken, and she’s instructed to subtly sway Nasseh into pagan worship. After tragedy strikes years later, twelve-year-old Manasseh is thrust onto Judah’s throne, bitter at Yahweh and eager to marry the girl he adores.

  • 15. Bible Marking
    LESSON FIFTEEN Hezekiah: The Challenge from Assyria Quote: “He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him. For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.” 2 Kings 18:5, 6 Bible Marking Hezekiah - 2 Kings 18 2 Kings 18:1 - “Hezekiah” - Means “strengthened of Yahweh”. It was only through Yahweh’s strength that the reformation was accomplished, that Hezekiah was healed, and that Assyria was defeated. So great was Hezekiah, that we are given 3 records of his life (Kings, Chronicles and Isaiah). A Reformation on Divine Principles Mark above & “Ahaz” - Means “possessor”, ie. a selfish man, below 2 Kg 18 who was Judah’s worst king Ahaz had given himself over to idolatry, following the examples of those who had left the truth (2 Chron 28:1-2), and 2 Kings 18:2 - “Abi” - The margin has - ‘Abijah, of the world in general (2 Kg 16:3, 10-11). He therefore made 2 Chron 29:1’. “Abijah” means “Yah is Father”. Judah “naked” in the sight of Yahweh, and “transgressed sore She appears to be the inspiration for Hezekiah to against Yahweh” (2 Chron 28:19). Now Hezekiah brought devote his life to the service of Yahweh. See about a reformation upon Divine principles. He turned the Prov 22:6. people back to Yahweh and His Word and to the Pioneers of “Zachariah” - Means “Yahweh hath remembered” the truth (David, Asaph and Gad and Nathan etc).

    J. Barton Payne, "The Unity of Isaiah: Evidence From Chapters 36-39," Bulletin of the Evangelical Theological Society 6.2 (May 1963): 50-56. The Unity of Isaiah: Evidence from Chapters 36-39 J. Barton Payne [p.50] The four chapters of Isaiah 36-39 that appear also in II Kings 18-20 and that contain historical dialog between the prophet and his king, Hezekiah, have produced more critical debate than any other section of I and II Kings.1 They furnish also some of our primary evidence for the unity of the Book of Isaiah,2 forming, as Delitzsch has put it, a “bridge” to the prophecies that follow.3 A thorough treatment of this evidence hence becomes impossible under present limitations. The writer would seek, however, to indicate three specific areas within this larger discussion in which sharpened awareness may contribute to a defense of the total authority of Scripture. L. CONDITIONING FACTORS IN EVANGELICALISM’S APPROACH TO ISAIAH 36-39 If we take, for example, such a question as the relation of Isaiah 36-39 to II Kings 18-20, it appears at the outset that liberal and conservative writers reach opposite conclusions because of their respective methodologies. The liberal, e.g. S.R. Driver, limits his admissable evidence to inductive comparisons of literary detail and of thematic concepts; he thus decides in favor of the priority of Kings.4 The conservative, e.g. Franz Delitzsch, while utilizing historical prose style as a confirmatory factor, concentrates on two reasons that arise (1) out of an analogy with other sections of Kings and Isaiah and (2) out of the authority of Chronicles, deductively applied to the chapters in question; he thus insists upon the originality of Isaiah.5 Bible believing scholars appear to be conditioned by five distinctive principles.

We praise You for the blessings You give us so generously, and ask to be made worthy of our call. AMEN! Prayer Suggestions General theme of the week: BUILDING 1.

INTRODUCTION Many attempting to make sense of prophetic literature in the Hebrew Bible would echo Carroll's assessment that "[t]o the modern reader the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel are virtually incomprehensible as books."1 For Carroll, the problem with reading these books as "books" is that there is a confusing mixture of prose and poetry, a lack of coherent order and arrange­ ment, and a shortage of necessary contextual information needed for accu­ rate interpretation.2 Despite the difficult compositional and historical issues associated with the book of Jeremiah, there is a growing consensus that

  • Step Into Isaiah the 37Th Chapter! (King Hezekiah's Prayer and The
    Step into Isaiah the 37th chapter! (King Hezekiah’s prayer and the Lord’s response) Isaiah 37:1-38 (NKJV) 1 And so it was, when King Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD. 2 Then he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. 3 And they said to him, "Thus says Hezekiah: 'This day is a day of trouble and rebuke and blasphemy; for the children have come to birth, but there is no strength to bring them forth. 4 It may be that the LORD your God will hear the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.' " 5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 6 And Isaiah said to them, "Thus shall you say to your master, 'Thus says the LORD: "Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me. 7 Surely I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land." ' " 8 Then the Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish.

  • He Text of Today's Gospel Is, I Am Sure, Very Familiar to You, and I Am Sure
    21st Sunday A he text of today’s gospel is, I am sure, very familiar to you, and I am sure you have T heard many homilies on the confession of Peter’s faith and Our Lord’s entrustment to him of the keys of heaven. So precisely because of that, I am going to focus more today on the first reading from the prophet Isaiah. It is often said that we Catholics don’t know the Bible – and if all we read are short snippets like today’s, of course, that is inevitable. So let’s put the first reading in context. Isaiah tells us that Shebna, the Master of the palace – King Hezekiah’s chancellor – was dismissed and replaced by Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah. And Isaiah continues: I place the key of the House of David on his shoulder; should he open, no one shall close, should he close, no one shall open. Now what’s all that about? King Hezekaiah was the son of Ahaz. Ahaz – a young king, he was only 20 when he came to the throne of the Southern Kingdom, that is, of Judah, and 36 when he died - had followed a policy of accepting the over-lordship of the Assyrians. He gained peace for Judah by paying a tax or tribute to Assyria. But he went further: travelling to Damascus, he pledged allegiance to Tiglath-Pileser, and worshipped the Assyrian gods. He had Assyrian artifacts set up in the temple in Jerusalem, and temples to the Assyrian gods set up in Judah.

  • 5. Jesus Christ-The Key of David (Isaiah 22:15-25)
    1 Jesus Christ, the Key of David Isaiah 22:15-25 Introduction: In Isaiah 22, the Lord sent Isaiah to make an announcement to a government official named Shebna, who served Hezekiah, the king of Judah. The news he had for Shebna was not good. Shebna had, apparently, used his position to increase his own wealth and glory, and had usurped authority which did not belong to him. Shebna received the news that he would soon be abruptly removed from his office. Isaiah also announced that another man (named Eliakim) would take his place, who would administer the office faithfully. This new man would be a type of Jesus Christ. Isaiah 22:15-25 I. The fall of self-serving Shebna (vv. 15-19) In verse 15, the Lord sent Isaiah to deliver a message to Shebna, who was the treasurer in the government of Judah. He is also described as being “over the house.” This particular position was first mentioned in the time of Solomon. (Apparently, the office did not exist in the days of King Saul or King David, because it is not mentioned.) Afterward, it became an important office both in the northern and southern kingdoms. 1 Kings 4:1-6; 16:9; 18:3 2 Kings 10:5 The office of the man who was “over the house” of the king of Judah seems to have increased in importance over time, until it was similar to the Egyptian office of vizier. Joseph had been given this incredibly powerful position in the government of Pharaoh. (In fact, this position seems to have been created, for the first time, in Joseph’s day.) Joseph possessed all the power of the Pharaoh.

  • Hezekiah's Prayer 2 Kings 18-19 Characters: Narrator, Sennacherib
    1 Hezekiah’s Prayer 2 Kings 18-19 Characters: Narrator, Sennacherib, Isaiah, Hezekiah, Messenger Narrator: God’s land had been split into two kingdoms—Israel and Judah. Israel had been ruled by very unfaithful kings, and none of the Israelites had believed in God anymore. Judah had once been ruled by Ahaz, who was a very sinful king, and had built false altars around the kingdom. When his son Hezekiah became king, Hezekiah ruled that all the false idols be burned. Hezekiah: I decree that all the false idols be burned! Also, I order that the bronze serpent Moses built be destroyed, as the people have started worshipping it as a god. The people will only worship the one true God, the Lord! Narrator: God found favor with Hezekiah for destroying all of the idols in the land. Sometime during Hezekiah’s reign, the Assyrians came and conquered the land of Israel. God allowed Israel to be conquered because they had stopped worshipping Him. Soon, the Assyrians began to attack cities in Judah. Sennacherib, the King of Assyria, sent a messenger to Hezekiah telling him to surrender. Messenger: Sennacherib has ordered me to give you this message. He orders you to surrender, and pay tribute to him, and he will not destroy Judah. He demands 11 tons of silver and 1 ton of gold. If you do not pay his demands, he will destroy you and all of your people. Hezekiah: What choice do I have? I will pay his tribute. Get all of the gold and silver in the kingdom.
